I have NEVER understood the obsession with 0-60 time. The majority of the population lives in urban areas where it doesn't matter how fast your car goes 0-60. Because A) good luck ever seeing 60mph, and B) your car is only going as fast as the car in front of you. Traffic sucks. 0-60 time wasn't even a consideration for me.

To expand on what EBS said:
I rarely accelerate all the way from a dead stop to 100km/h, but I absolutely pay attention to that spec. I may not pin it all the way up to highway speeds, but that's just the standard for measuring acceleration. I personally do like my cars to be quick, I find it fun. Useful? Well, that's a bit more of a stretch, but I want it anyway. And if I compare the bolt to the base model ioniq 5, I see the bolt has better acceleration. If all I'm interested in is having fun flooring it up to city speeds, I still know the bolt will do it quicker.

0-60 mph ... it does provide a fair indicator of how quickly you can cross the intersection when the light changes (if you're into such things), and how likely it is that you get a ticket when doing so (if you fail to notice a traffic enforcer in the vicinity).

Slightly off topic, but years ago I had built a pretty decent truck. stopwatch timed 0-60 was 3.8, though obviously that leaves a margin of error. Regardless, I was once again pulled over, this time for turning a decent amount of the mickey thompsons into smoke (and subsequent acceleration out of the light, but I'd backed off and didn't get much past the speed limit). Cop asked what I was doing, and I said "I've got a bunch of speeding tickets, and I'm 2 points away from losing my license, so this is how I have my fun now". He smirked and gave me back my license.
No limits on acceleration, just speed.

Edit: For those out there who might be planning an upcoming purchase, 0-60specs.com is excellent, if you're like-minded. Especially now that we're going to evs, since they do have the one downside of not being very easy to be made quicker than they were off the factory floor.
